A LOCAL MAN IS BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO A RAILROAD STATION THAT'S MORE THAN A CENTURY OLD. D.J. REDDING, JR., WHO IS 92, RESCUED THE RURAL HALL DEPOT FROM DEMOLITION IN 1988. THE LANDMARK OPENED TODAY TO THE PUBLIC AS THE RURAL HALL HISTORIC TRAIN DEPOT MUSEUM. REDDING SAYS THE EXCITEMENT OF VISITORS SHOWS THAT THE MUSEUM CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME. IT'S SOMEHING THAT GOING TO LIVE ON ITS A LASTING THING ... ... IT GIVES YOU SOME ACPLISTMENT OF SATISFACION. REDDING HOPES THE THE DEPOT CAN NOW ONCE AGAIN SERVE AS A SOCIAL GATHERING PLACE LIKE IT DID ALMOST A CENTURY AGO.
